The first attack happened on Jan. 24. That time, four swans were shot, including a young one that needed to be put to sleep. The survivors all lost an eye, and are still in recovery at a veterinary hospital.

The second attack happened on Jan. 28. This time, a whopping eight swans were shot, and the second bird passed away.

"I am sure her Majesty will be horrified to hear that someone is taking pleasure out of shooting them," said Wendy Hermon of Swan Support, the United Kingdom’s charity for swans.
